SendObject method - Error 2296

[ddcroit]

Hello to all,

I am looking for a real expert here.

I am trying to fix an error appearing on just one computer.

I am using the sendobject method and Error 2296 is appearing. The error description is :
"The password is invalid; the message wasn't sent"

We have Lotus Notes installed in our computers.

I guess that the problem comes with the setting of the e-mail. The user computer has been changed from desktop to laptop and now the sendobject method is not working.

Please !!! I need the expert to resolve this issue. I have checked in almost 20 Internet places and nobody has the answer.

Thanks really much for taking the time to create knowledge.

Does the error raises even when a Lotus Notes session is already open ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

thanks for your interest.

The problem arises with Lotus open or closed.

I have discovered that from Control Panel / Internet Options , on the Programs Tab, the user has Oulook as the default. I will first check changing this setting to Lotus Notes,retry and let you know.

Thanks pal

PHV and the rest of the community,

So this is how the problem got solved...

When using the DoCdm.SendObject method, Access goes to Control Panel / Internet Option / Programs, and searches for the default e-mail setting.

If this setting is different than your real e-mail software ( Lotus Notes, OutLook Express,...) ,Access will try to open an unavailable e-mail software and throw error # 2296 - Invalid password.

Hope this helps.
